The proposed Arkadelphia High School project is designed to provide modern learning environments, highlighted by a dedicated area for Career Education.

This new facility will house the Agricultural Education/FFA Shop and AHS Career Pathway Programs. In 2024-25, Agricultural Education and FFA returned to the Arkadelphia School District after 53 years. This new facility will provide hands-on learning workspace for high-wage, high-demand careers.
